Light. There it is again. My current focus for this year (or as long as I need it to drive out the darkness.)
.
MLK is a great reminder that life is short. Why spend time in darkness? Why not be the light in each moment?
.
I think often about what light and love look and feel like on social media. And that’s a constantly moving target. .
I wonder who is reading my words from a place of their own darkness and takes them the wrong way. .
I hope someone finds peace in something I write. .
I pray for these posts to come only from a place of purity and life-giving purpose. .
I think about what the most impactful leaders would have said and done with the platforms we have today. .
I dream...... I believe everyone has the capacity for a dream as big as MLKs and the courage to go after it.
.
I am inspired, especially on days like this when I see the beauty and love and light shining the brightest.
.
And I go offline. Very intentionally to be sure it’s not just mouth service here and we are doing the same in person where we can have the most positive influence through our relationships.
.
Warm fuzzy inspirational thoughts from this frozen hockey mom on day 3 of tournament weekend. A scenario in the past which would have made me a grouchy tornado of darkness..... until I chose to step away from that darkness into a place of freedom, love and light.
.
{yes I’m working on another book.... no there isn’t a timeline.... until then read along here....thanks for asking...it fills me up!}

Got the Monday blues and dreading going into work?
Not for me 😀. My Monday office is filled with colour because colour psychology shows that working in a vibrant environment has positive effects on the body and the brain.
These changes influence productivity, creativity, mental health, focus and communication. ♥️

Day 240 - Please don’t reject yourself to save the world rejecting you. People won’t like you anyways! You may as well be happy #consultantvlog

Don’t hire women just because they are women - esp if you don’t have the internal infrastructure set up to support them. Hire women in tech bc they are qualified and skilled at what they do. -
If you keep getting the same people in your interview pool then check the language you are using to describe jobs - is it alienating? Expand your networks and invest in underrepresented minority groups in tech to build and nurture a diverse talent pipeline - bc we congregate and organize groups we don’t feel like a minority in - so reach out!

If you need help i wrote an article on 3 easy steps you can take to do this right now. Check my stories, the @womenintechpgh bio, or DM me for it!

Science Sunday!!
.
.
More coding! We did initially start a different coding project but that one required more time than we had before bed. Belly was learning more about if/then statements. She amazes me everyday. (not coding related-we even talked about helium and she was able to explain why helium balloons float) For only being 7, she sure is smart and can understand so many complex concepts. @bitsboxkids

Starting my new job tomorrow !!.
.
I'm so excited, I'm afraid I won't be able to wake up tomorrow! But you know what, I'm a bit nervously as well.
.
See, I have this unbelievable ability to make the most stupid and non plausible scenarios in my head. I actually ask my boyfriend today "what if they fire me the first day?!" I think I have a case of the Imposter Syndrome! I know my worth but as soon as the stress comes in, the logical part of my brain shutdown 🙃. I try to calm myself but it does not always work eh?!
.
How do you deal with the Imposter Sandrome?

Enjoying my two vacay days trying to clean my computer and do my updates ! I love Linux but I'm the worst at remembering to update it and then when I do it's a disaster! Luckily this time it went smoothly and I can start working on my side projects again.. who's in for a allnighter 😁

Bye INO.
.
What a year and a half it has been! I came to Quebec for this job, knowing only two people here when I arrive. I made some wonderful friends there, even a boyfriend that I quite like 😍.
.
INO also gave me my first job as an AI researcher and I will be forever grateful!.
.
But now it's time to move to other things. I'm starting at an exciting startup monday and I can't wait for the new challenges that awaits me 😁😁

♥️Where’s home? And where you spending your thanksgiving at?🤗
-
♥️I want to say 🍽❄️Happy American thanksgiving (because Canadian also have their own thanksgiving 🙏🏽)
.
♥️Everyday I’m thankful for another day of breathing another day of having the opportunity to pursue my dream.
-
♥️This year I’m mostly thankful for you (yes you) who decided to be part of my journey. -
Because of you, I don’t feel alone I don’t feel helpless. And i want you to feel the same way too. That’s why i created @vickysdailystandup because I know someone somewhere out there is watching my video and decided they won’t stop and they will continue their very own journey.
-
♥️If thanksgiving is meant for family and I would say here I have my little family with you all. Everyday is a challenge but it’s nice to know you’re not getting there alone. Isn’t it. 😘

Introduction, life update and more! ✨
Happy Friday everyone! Since I’ve been seeing a lot of new faces 👩🏻👨🏻 around my IG channel I decided to re-introduce myself and give you guys some life updates 📝.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I’m 27 years old originally from Lima, Peru 🇵🇪 but I’ve been living in the USA 🇺🇸 for about 10 years. I have a 6 year old son 👦🏻 who has been the greatest gift that God has given me in my life and the most game-changing 💕.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Before entering the world of tech I studied Public Relations and Interior Design 🏠. I took a 4 year break from studying due to me taking care of my son but after the long break I decided it was time for me to go back to school 🏫 to get my associates degree in Web Development and Design 💻.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Everyone in my class had already programming experience while to me this was all new 📚. I noticed that 90% of the class were men and only a few of us were females 🤷🏻‍♀️. I was surrounded by all these amazing people who were so smart and talented 🤓 but that didn’t stop me from continuing with my dreams and becoming a supporter of having more women in tech👩🏻‍💻.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
3 years later and here I am only one semester away from graduation 👩🏻‍🎓 and working as a Software Engineer at Foot Locker 👟. Some of my tech skills include: Javascript, Java, Swift, C, C #, HTML/CSS, AngularJS, NodeJs, mySQL, some Python and PHP, this is just to mention a few 🛠.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I’m currently working to obtain all the certifications on freeCodeCamp and working on a big project with my boyfriend @kimo_dev 👨🏻‍💻💗. Kimo and I are also thinking on doing some freelancing together probably in the next couple of months 💼.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
👉🏼 I’m curious to know more about you so please leave me a comment with your name, where are you from 🌎 and in what tech field are you in.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Much love, Cece 🌸 (@carmencodes_ )
